WordPress Events
On 23, Dec 2011 | One Comment | In FCW WordPress Plugins | By Andy
WordPress Events gives you a simple interface for adding events to your site and displays them in a beautiful calendar with pop up details.
Simply add events in an interface you are already used to and display your calendar by adding the shortcode [calendar] to any page of post!
New in 0.2 !
Multiple user calendars! Allow individual users to have their own calendar and display different calendars by specifying a user id in the shortcode. For example [calendar user=2] will display the calendar for the user with an ID of 2.
Built in sharing generates tiny urls that when linked to opens the shared event in a pop up just as if the user had clicked on it.
Google maps integration allows you to add a map of the venue.

0.9 now uses ajax to load events to save on load time.

Hi,
This looks promising. However, we’ve ceased installing plugins to see if they work – too many nasty surprises from plugins in the repository.
So 2 questions:
1) Does this one handle multi-day events yet? Many conferences and expos are 2-5 days, so this is essential.
2) Can the Google maps be turned off? Some events-calendar plugins using this have dismal load times.
TIA
